What Charleston Owners Should Know
Charleston Water System, which supplies Charleston, reports hardness of about 54 ppm (roughly 3.2 grains per gallon) as a 2022 average; soft water. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: Charleston Water System water characteristics table (2022 averages), as published by the Town of Sullivan's Island
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
